Ezekiel 30

1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 O son of humankind prophesy and you will say thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh wail alas! for the day.

“Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!

3 For [is] near a day and [is] near a day of Yahweh a day of cloud[s] a time of nations it will be.

The day is soon coming—the Day of the Lord is near. It will be a gloomy, cloudy day, a time of judgment for the nations.

4 And it will come a sword on Egypt and it will be anguish on Cush when fall [the] slain in Egypt and people will take away wealth its and they will be torn down foundations its.

A sword will come to attack Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when people are killed in Egypt, when it's robbed of its wealth and the country ruined.

5 Cush and Put and Lud and every foreigner and Libya and [the] sons of [the] land of the covenant with them by the sword they will fall.

Cush, Put, and Lud, and many other peoples, as well as Arabia, Kub, and the people of the promised land, they all, like Egypt, will be killed by the sword.

6 Thus he says Yahweh and they will fall [the] supporters of Egypt and it will come down [the] pride of strength its from Migdol Syene by the sword they will fall in it [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

This is what the Lord says: Egypt's allies will fall, and the country will lose its prestigious position. From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, they will be killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.

7 And they will be desolate in midst of lands made desolate and cities its in midst of cities made waste they will be.

Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.

8 And they will know that I [am] Yahweh when put I fire in Egypt and they will be broken all helpers its.

Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.

9 On the day that they will go out messengers from to before me in the ships to make tremble Cush security and it will be anguish on them on [the] day of Egypt for there! [it is] coming.

At that time I will send messengers in ships to shock Cush out of its sense of security. They will tremble in fear when disasters hit Egypt. Watch out! It's definitely coming!

10 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will put an end to [the] multitude of Egypt by [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.

This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.

11 He and people his with him ruthless [ones] of nations [will be] brought to destroy the land and they will draw swords their on Egypt and they will fill the land [the] slain.

He and his army from the cruelest nation in the world will be brought to destroy the country. They will use their swords to attack Egypt, and they will fill the land with dead bodies.

12 And I will make canals dry ground and I will sell the land in [the] hand of wicked [people] and I will devastate [the] land and what fills it by [the] hand of strangers I Yahweh I have spoken.

I will dry up the rivers and sell the land to wicked people. Using these foreigners I will ruin the land and everything in it. I the Lord have spoken.

13 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh and I will destroy idols and I will cause to cease worthless idols from Memphis and a prince from [the] land of Egypt not he will be again and I will put fear in [the] land of Egypt.

This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to destroy the idols and get rid of the images in Memphis. There won't be a prince in Egypt any longer, and I will make everyone in the country terrified.

14 And I will devastate Pathros and I will put fire in Zoan and I will bring about judgments on Thebes.

I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.

15 And I will pour out rage my on Sin [the] stronghold of Egypt and I will cut off [the] multitude of Thebes.

I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.

16 And I will put fire in Egypt surely (it will writhe in agony *Qk) Sin and Thebes it is [about] to be broken into and Memphis distress of daytime.

I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.

17 [the] young men of On and Pi-beseth by the sword they will fall and they [fem] in captivity they will go.

The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.

18 And in Tahpanhes it will withhold the day when break I there [the] yoke-bars of Egypt and it will cease in it [the] pride of strength its it a cloud it will cover it and daughters its in captivity they will go.

It will be a dark day in Tahpanhes when I break Egypt's power and bring to an end their proud strength. It will be under a cloud as the people go into captivity.

19 And I will bring about judgments on Egypt and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”

20 And it was in one plus ten year in the first [month] on [day] seven of the month it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

21 O son of humankind [the] arm of Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt I have broken and there! not it has been bound up to give healing to put a bandage to bind up it to be strong it to wield the sword.

“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. You can see that it hasn't been bandaged up to heal it, or put it in a splint to provide enough strength to hold a sword.

22 Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] against Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and I will break arms his the strong [one] and the broken [one] and I will make fall the sword from hand his.

So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning Pharaoh king of Egypt! I will break his arms, both the one that's still good and the one already broken, and I will make him drop his sword.

23 And I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands.

I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.

24 And I will make strong [the] arms of [the] king of Babylon and I will put sword my in hand his and I will break [the] arms of Pharaoh and he will groan [the] groans of [one] fatally wounded before him.

I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will moan in pain like someone who's about to die.

25 And I will strengthen [the] arms of [the] king of Babylon and [the] arms of Pharaoh they will fall and they will know that I [am] Yahweh when put I sword my in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will stretch out it against [the] land of Egypt.

I will make the arms of Babylon's king strong, but Pharaoh's arms will drop to his sides, weak and useless. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it to attack Egypt.

26 And I will scatter Egypt among the nations and I will disperse them among the lands and they will know that I [am] Yahweh.

When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
